Votes at a glance: travel approvals, Head Start incentives and vendor bids
Summary
The Acadia Parish School Board approved multiple routine items in committee: out‑of‑state travel for several student groups to Orlando, Head Start employee incentives for 2024–25, the official journal bid for 2025–26 and a child nutrition contract with Tri Nutrition; approvals were by voice vote with no roll‑call tallies in the transcript.
At the committee meeting the board approved several routine items by voice vote.
Travel approvals: The board approved out‑of‑state travel requests for Iota High School cheerleaders and dance team to Disney Springs in Orlando (Feb. 18–23, 2026), Midland High FCCLA to the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Orlando (July 5–9, 2025), and a Branch Elementary student to attend the national Beta Convention in Orlando (June 29–July 3, 2025). Motions were made and seconded and carried by voice votes.
Head Start incentives: The board approved Head Start’s employee incentive requests for the 2024–2025 year after a motion and second; vote recorded by voice.
Bids and contracts: The board awarded the district’s official journal bid for 2025–2026 and approved a Tri Nutrition child nutrition contract (bid number 334SL), both by voice vote.
The transcript records the motions, movers and seconds for many items (for example, motions moved by Ms. Atkinson, Mr. Quibodeau, Mr. Higginbotham and seconded by various members), but does not provide a roll‑call tally of individual member votes in the committee meeting; approvals were recorded verbally as 'aye' and the chair announced motions carried.
